Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to... Upton


"Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor Upton,
A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way and all for under a pound you know",

Well not quite... and apologies if we have put that particular "ear worm" of a tune into your brain for the rest of the day!

But despite the financial inaccuracies of that little ditty (and we can't reveal what happened on the way back...) we DID have a lovely time at the Upton-upon-Severn Folk Festival with a bizarre structure dangling over our heads as we performed not one, but two full sets for the good citizens of folkness.  

And a cracking pair of well received performances they were, with a near full house in the evening and much mirth in the shire as we wheeled out the full bandido outfits for Gringo, along with other classics we haven't aired for a little while, such as "The Duct Tape Madrigal".

Thanks to the blokes and our recently inaugurated "WhatsApp channel" (get us) for the snaps that were, er, snapped along the way.

Up and coming at Upton...!



After just enough time to recover from #MagnificentCork (last mention... for now), we are delighted to be performing a little closer to home at one of the biggest local festivals around these parts, down on the banks of the sunny Severn River at the Upton-upon-Severn Folk Festival.

We will be performing not just the once, but at least twice, and who knows how much more depending on the reception and how the ale flows for our non-designated drivers (bless them, they will receive their reward in this life).

Full details can be found at http://www.uptonfolk.org/ and we are scheduled to perform at 

Concert 6PCa 14:45 18:00 in the Parish Church - we are due on stage 17:05 18:00

    then

Concert 6PCe 19:45 23:30  in the Parish Church - we are due on stage 20:35 21:25

Come and say hello if you are going and see probably the greatest exponents of BlokeSong ever to escape North North Wiltshire in action.
